Royal Oak Nursery & Pre-School offers childcare and early years education for children from birth to 5 years old.

The nursery is located on Harrow Road, close to Royal Oak and Warwick Avenue tube stations.

The team of experienced staff plan each day with input from the children. There’s always something exciting happening: open-fire cooking, obstacle courses, science experiments, messy arts play, and more! The children also love getting out into the local community, whether it’s trips to nearby shops or visits to the local care home.

The nursery is bright and spacious, with a large outdoor play area. The on-site chef prepares all meals using recipes from LEYF's nutritious menu.

All the staff are very good. They really look after all the kids very well. They do a lot of activities that I'm very happy with because my daughter learns a lot and is being independent too. I really recommend this to my friends.

Great nursery, my child loves it there. When she first started the nursery, she was so shy and wouldn’t talk to anyone but now she is a chatterbox and become so confident. I am really pleased with the excellent work the management and the staff put towards my child to help her build her confidence.

Review from Amel E (Mother of Child) published on 24 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Leaving my baby daughter at nursery for the first time was extremely daunting. She would cry as I waved goodbye and it was an extremely stressful time, but the staff at the nursery were extremely supportive. They comforted her and reassured me as she settled into the baby room. A range of healthy nutrient-rich
dishes are cooked up by a knowledgeable chef.
The management and staff have continued to make positive changes to the nursery, and the little ones have a good balance of indoor and outdoor activities throughout the day.
Over time my daughter has established an amazing relationship with staff. She has grown confident, independent and can now sing a song or two. When we arrive at the nursery, she cannot wait to be released from her pram. My daughter’s happiness and excitement on arriving at the nursery speaks volumes about the warm, caring and friendly environment of Warwick. We are fortunate to have found such a fantastic nursery for our baby and I would surely recommend it.

Review from Alex (Mother of Child) published on 23 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Warwick Community Nursery for 16 months now, since he was 11 months old. The love and care he receives there is demonstrated through his excitement when he arrives in the mornings and not wishing to leave at the end of the day.
He is extremely happy there and has learnt so
much. From songs, stories and nursery rhymes to riding a scooter without fear. I am always secure in the knowledge that he is safe and extremely well looked after. The staff are fantastic and quick to respond to any queries I may have. I would very highly recommend this nursery to all parents!

Review from Nta G (Mother of Child) published on 23 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My three year old son joined Warwick Nursery when he was just 1 year and 4 months. As a first time mum, I was scared and worried of leaving him alone but especially with strangers. However, from the settling in period, I could see that the staff were friendly, helpful, caring and supportive which gave
me the reassurance that I was definitely leaving him in good hands.
There have been some changes in the staffing in the last year or so, the original staff he met have moved on to greener pastures but the love and care he receives at Warwick is still above what we expected when changes occur.
For instance, the current manager he's all in. He has put his heart and soul into Warwick, he's very passionate and this shows in his actions within the nursery. In any settings, it takes a whole team to achieve common goals, so a very big thank you to all the staff at Warwick community nursery. It takes a whole village to raise a child which makes you our extended family!
Thank you.

Review from Nneka G (Mother of Child) published on 23 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We are pleased with the care and attention my child has received. The staff and management are very approachable and are open to your suggestions and concerns. The nursery has made every effort to give my child the help and assistance needed for their special needs, the new sensory room is one of such
adjustments.
Being a parent of a child with special needs all you can hope is that your child is given the same love and care as all the other children, but that their special individual needs are taken into account at the same time. This is something we can say Warwick Community Nursery has achieved.

Review from Rochelle (Mother of Child) published on 23 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son really loves this nursery and has a great time there. He is well looked after and is given a lot of stimulation, which aids his learning. He has progressed very well at this nursery and a large part of this is due to the outstanding staff members and leadership.
The key workers are really friendly
and genuinely care about each child. They show affection and spend quality time with the children. When I come early to pick up my son, he is always happy and if not he is always being comforted by a member of staff. The information sheets are great as they tell you everything you would want to know about your child’s day.

My child has come on in leaps and bounds since attending. She arrived as a shy baby, she is now a confident little girl. During her time at nursery, she's learnt to walk, say words and wave bye. She's also very happy when I drop her off. The staff are amazing and put me at ease! I would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2-year-old daughter loves the nursery and her carers. She enjoys being there and whenever I go to pick her up, I see her laughing and playing around.
This nursery is cheaper than all the other ones I checked in south and central London, however, their service, care and small team are going great
work, they are warm, welcoming and caring.
I would surely recommend it for a friend.

Thanks Zaina. Your review is so greatly appreciated.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are extremely proud of our son for his achievements this year. He seems to have grown up in his behaviour, confidence, sharing and his speaking is greatly improved. He has loved every minute of being in the nursery. My son receives excellent support above what we expected. Warwick Community is an
amazing place.
Thank you to all staff in nursery for all the care and support they have given, without it, my son would not have become so comfortable in nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.907)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for Royal Oak Nursery and Pre-School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.907 for Royal Oak Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.907
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Royal Oak Nursery and Pre-School is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 65 number of registered child places is 13, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
